Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon
Your trip will start with a first stop at the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon and you will get to take a lot of photos at this beautiful Church.

3.00Took this tour yesterday as a solo traveler on my first day in Vietnam. Pros: -clean, air conditioned vehicle -tour guide /driver nice, provided great communication the day before with the guide and months before with the company. -driver and guide arrived on time -lunch spot at a vegan/vegetarian restaurant was a solid pick and had delicious food -cold tea at cafe (orange lavender peach tea) was amazing (since I couldn’t drink the coffee w/ milk as there were no substitutions with nondairy milks) -guide was respectful and if I opted out of doing something there was no push to do it -bottle of water provided Cons: -45 minutes wasted waiting outside/inside a hotel lobby because the tour guide left his phone in the vehicle with the driver. The problem would’ve been resolved faster had the tour guide used my phone, as I offered to him, to contact the company via WhatsApp group chat informing them of the issue so they could contact the driver. This was only done by the tour guide AFTER the time passed. Initially the guide had us outside waiting but I told him it was too hot and I needed AC so we went into a hotel lobby. -I don’t know if the tour guide was new or if this is normal, but I felt like after lunch, there was not much information given as before. A few sentences here and there, unless I had questions to facilitate more conversation, but more silence and observation at the sights towards the end of the tour. -while the sights were nice/cool to see more could be provided (more stops) Overall, I think this tour was overpriced for what I received even more for the dilemma that went long than necessary and cut int the time of the tour I paid for (even more as a solo traveler). I chose forever vacation for this tour because I was extremely pleased with their instagram tour in Bali which I highly recommend as it is amazing and 100% better than what I experienced on this tour. However for this instagram tour in Ho Chi Minh City I do not recommend but suggest improvement to match the energy of the advertised video/pictures.
Few hours or days, get to know the city first

5.00Ocean was the best guide ever! We learned so much from him about Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam. He is very smart! His Vinfast EV was so comfortable. The places he took us to and time spent at each were customized and prefect for us! Can’t say enough good things about him and our experience in this beautiful city!

5.00Dear fellow travellers, especially my fellow Indians — If fate brings you to Ho Chi Minh City, and you’re fortunate enough to meet Mr. Jason Superstar, consider yourself truly blessed. 🌺 Jason is not just a tour guide — he is an experience in himself. His boundless energy, genuine passion, and deep love for his city transform every tour into a memory you’ll carry for life. It’s rare to meet someone who so thoroughly lives and breathes their purpose — and Jason does exactly that. From the moment you meet him, he welcomes you not as a tourist, but as family. His knowledge of Vietnam, its culture, history, and hidden treasures is only matched by his infectious charisma and warmth. Whether it’s a bustling market, a quiet alley, or a historical monument — Jason brings each place to life. For us, he didn’t just show us around — he became part of our journey. We left Vietnam with not only incredible memories, but also a brother and a friend for life. 📞 You can reach Jason at +84 91 394 37 43 If you're heading to Ho Chi Minh City, don’t miss the chance to experience Vietnam through his eyes — you’ll return home richer in stories, smiles, and soul. Thank you, Jason Superstar — you truly are one of a kind.

4.00It was great! Time flew. Duong was very pleasant to talk to during the tour. He is very knowledgable about Vietnam. You can ask him anything you need to know about the country and he will be able to answer. For future tours, I would suggest adding more places to see. There are several buildings (smaller pagodas, other parcs) or authentic vietnamese streets we passed by that we would have had time to see in the 6 hours.
A nice, leisurely tour in HCMC

5.00I had a great time with Daniel in HCMC. The ForeverVacation team was very accommodating of my requests even though my booking was pretty last minute. They were able to curate my tour based on my preferences and were flexible about the itinerary and the schedule. They weren’t pushy at all. Daniel was a great guide. He was very considerate of my needs (I was sweating like a pig and kept complaining about being too hot (^O^) ) so he would take me to cafes or places with air conditioning. I was able to see everything I wanted at a leisurely pace. Although we had a busy itinerary, it didn’t feel overwhelming at all. It was also great having Daniel around so I wouldn’t get ripped off by some of the sellers. I will definitely go on another tour with ForeverVacation when I’m back in Vietnam.
Memorable experience and even more memorable photos!

5.00Fabulous sightseeing and far away from many crowds. Duong my host really knew the best places to go for great photos, telling me all about the history along the way. He even took me to a great vegetarian restaurant. I learned a lot about the architecture and the famous moments in history from which they’re known. Having an aircon vehicle was super important as it gets HOT! So take it slowly walking around, and get back into the aircon whenever you like as it’s at your pace. Thank you for a memorable time :)
A place of worship and hope.

5.00I hope photographers respect the sanctity of this church.The interior should not be used for Instagram photo shoots.It is a place for people of all faiths,not just Catholic to pray and reflect.
Excellent tour with Duong / Forever Vacation group

5.00My wife and I went for this tour as a part of celebrating our wedding anniversary. The team contacted me well in advance to keep me posted of the schedule and customize our tour. Despite the heat we ended up enjoying the tour of HCMC while getting great shots. Duong was great. His knowledge of history was very good. He even took most of the pics for us. Highly recommended !
Must do in Ho Chi Minh City
